Pharos Traveler GPS 127
The Pharos Traveler 127 ships with navigation software, so there's no need for a subscription-based location-based service. The Windows Mobile smartphone also offers 3G support, Wi-Fi, and a 2-megapixel camera
The smartphone can be extremely sluggish at times, and the Smart Navigator app isn't the most easy to use. Expandable memory is restricted when using the navigation software

Solid voice quality and reception. GPS radio works independently of cellular reception
Very slow performance. Buggy software. Poor camera. Difficult to dial phone numbers. SIM card and GPS settings require reconfiguration with every reboot. GPS app doesn't pronounce street names. Clumsy microSD card slot design
Given their high up-front cost, unlocked phones are already a tough sell. It's even worse when one has as many shortcomings as Pharos's latest GPS-focused smartphone.

From the specs, a wonderful smartphone. Except that voice dailing is unsupported. And that it apparently doesn't work with bluetooth certified devices. And let's not forget the GPS that can't find a satelite at night. Or the company's refusal to provide w...
Not very good
Not very good
Touch screen is not sensitive enough. GPS software (Smart Navigator software) that come with it is really bad. Smart Navigator has a very poor user interface compare to OCN8. I couldn't use any other GPS software (TOMTOM, Iguidance). You can install them,...
